I gave a quote to a Metro news article:
"This new government guidance will cause extreme harm to trans children of all ages. Study after study have shown that trans children need policies that are the exact opposite of what this Government is enforcing... 1/
And then looks very bored for the rest of the meeting as she had already decided the outcome.
After a lot of rejection & bullying at college, my daughter has a boyfriend and they have been going out a month She told him she’s trans & he said he doesn’t care. Nasty girls added him to a chat with the sole aim of turning him against her. He told them he doesn’t care. Happy Valentines Day ❤️🏳️⚧️
At this exact point in time we decided to go private but many couldn’t afford it…with devastating consequences.
My daughter socially transitioned at 8 at primary school. The acceptance she got from the school changed her life for the better. She literally blossomed. If this new guidance had happened at that time, she would be a shadow of the young woman she is today.
1/ A month-long investigation uncovered that 58 UK public libraries stocked parenting books encouraging children to “desist” or detransition.

'The number of these where it was felt that gender affirming care was provided wrongly or inappropriately? All of eight. Over a 10-year period, for a clinic that could have up to 12,000 service users (p.9) at any given time.'

Today is Trans Parent Day - a day to celebrate both parents who are trans and parents of trans people. It’s also an opportunity for us to speak about the pride we feel for our loved ones.
We’re a group of parents of trans children and adults who care about their future.

If you know of any organisation etc. which has announced publicly that it has changed its policies/practices as a result of the Supreme Court decision or the EHRC update - please comment it below.

The Cass Review gets peer reviewed and absolutely shredded
Cass is the Wakefield of our time. A scandal in broad daylight
Hi @wesstreeting.bsky.social - another peer reviewed study saying Cass is fatally flawed. Are you going to ignore? I get the impression you are stubbornly Paula Vennels on this. No matter what the evidence, warnings or harm to patients, you are going to plough on. Cass is Post Office 2. Public Inqu.
Hello, I am a trans woman who lives in Bristol. I am writing to strongly oppose the motion to record birth sex as "biological sex" on patient records. I, along with the majority of trans people I've spoken with, oppose this for two main reasons. Firstly it is a violation of our privacy and dignity, and secondly it is factually false to conflate birth sex and current sex, which will lead to poor healthcare decisions. There is no medical benefit to listing birth sex, and it is misleading to use birth sex as "biological sex". As a woman who has had normal female hormone levels for over a decade, and who has none of the organs typically associated with male bodies, recording me as male could cause practitioners to make healthcare decisions based on a body that I do not have. It could lead us to miss out on vital screenings such as breast cancer screenings, and it could lead to incorrect dosing or interpreting of symptoms.Trans and intersex people's bodies do not fit into the standard two category system that most others do, but if we are forced to fit into that system then our current sex - what our actual bodies are like today - is far more indicative and safe to use than birth sex, which only relates to what I was like over 30 years ago. I have personally experienced prejudice in a medical setting when I revealed I was trans, for an unrelated condition, and I do not want to face that again. It put me off going to the doctor for years, which meant that I missed out on checkups and treatment for asthma. It has been a long, long time since anyone called me "Mr" or referred to me as a man, but I fear that incorrectly recording our "biological sex" on records will lead to this again. It feels invasive and unnecessary. I also believe it is a violation of our legal right to a private life guaranteed by the European Court of Human Rights. Please oppose this motion, it could be very harmful to trans people. We already struggle with fair access to both trans healthcare and

My two daughters are adopted. I’m their mother but ‘biology’ has been used to try and discredit me as a mother. To try and make me feel ‘less’. I’m their ‘real’ mother because I raised them, loved them. I love my trans daughter and my cis daughter. We are all ‘real’. I send all my love too.
They want complete exclusion. The truth laid bare.
I was there too. People like Taylor want trans people not to exist. I don’t think compromising is an option unfortunately.

Yep, I’m sure my daughter has used the girls’ loos at school multiple times today. If she’s told otherwise, no more school.
Today, the Trump administration is releasing a fake "report" about gender affirming care created by quacks so they can restrict access to care. It's going to be completely unscientific and unhinged and shouldn't be a afforded one iota of credibility.
My latest article on the judgment is now out in Prospect Magazine.
This one I think is probably the most shareable with those who aren't as aware of what is going on.
Please take a look!

Embarrassing
"We have your back" I said to my daughter this morning as she walked to school.
I tried to hide my fears. I am furious that a Labour government & the EHRC has betrayed her, threatening to roll back her rights to privacy and respect.
I just want her to be safe and happy.

‘There is something particularly British about the unspoken agreement to pretend this isn’t happening. To settle for a kind of reality that’s neat and tidy as a window box. To trim the unruly hedges of humanity.’

I’ve told the teacher that if they tell her to use any other toilet now, I’ll take her out of school. #toilets #transrightsarehumanrights #savethedolls 3/3
The EHRC interpretation is guidance only, not law. Schools have to put the welfare of the child first and any fair & informed school should see this. My daughter socially transitioned in yr 5. She’s been using girls facilities since then and is just about to sit her GCSEs. 2/3
I’m already hearing of cases where parents are complaining to school about trans kids using toilets and citing the Supreme Court. I’m waiting for it to happen at my daughter’s school. I’ve emailed the LGBTQ+ lead who I know will be fighting against any changes to their existing policy. 1/3
